Looks as if it needs to be enabled in the mobo Bios.

I'd Google
"Microsoft AHCI storage driver"
unless that is what your last line said.
Some of the older hits (into the Intel site)on the subject are a
little scary.

Seems like you really don't want old hardware? or old support.

From: "Anthony Q. Martin"
I was reading the white paper on Intel's SSD Optimizer. IN there it
says that if you're using Windows 7 and Microsoft AHCI storage
driver, then the OS will contain native support support to excute the
ATA Data set Management command on the Intel SSD and no user
interaction is required. However, if you're using Intel Matrix
Storage manager with Win7, then you do need the tools. Now, I never
installed any Matrix Storage manager...and I can't see evidence of it
on the device manager.
So, am I good?
